About
I am an outgoing and motivated young man, who is passionate about work. I would describe myself as someone who prefers a busy schedule. I have experience from offshore work in the North Sea as a trainee officer, then to yacht from 55m to 162m and then working onboard expedition cruise ships in extremely remote areas. My time in the yachting industry started as a 3rd officer/deckhand onboard 162m motor yacht. Towards the end of my first trip I moved to a new yacht the owner bought for the initial setup. This included a change of flag survey and rewriting all SOPs and SMS. This gave me great early exposure to thing some people may never see. I then returned back to the 162m yacht as 2nd officer, completing all roles from safety maintenance, to navigator and safety officer. I then returned to the yachting industry as Chief Officer
